Polls

Here’s a round-up of some (important) polls, all from Rasmussen Reports.

1. Barack Obama is leading Hillary Clinton in Texas. 48% against 44%. If this is the result on election day as well, Clinton is out.

2. Clinton is leading in Pennsylvania. 46% against 42%. Pennsylvania has a lot of delegates.

3. John McCain leads very comfortably in Texas. 54% of Republicans say they’ll vote for McCain, against 34% who’ll vote for Mike Huckabee, and only 7% who say they support Ron Paul.

4. John McCain is more trusted than Obama when it comes to national security, Iraq and the economy. In short: Obama shouldn’t talk about the first two issues too much, for it’s likely that McCain will destroy him on it, especially if the surge continues to pay off. The economy is a more difficult subject of course, also because it’s so incredibly important to many voters. Obama can’t not talk about it. Besides, perhaps - on this issue - it’s more a matter of perception right now than anything else, meaning that Obama should be able to make a comeback.

Take all the polls with a grain of salt.

PoliGazette encourages comments from all viewpoints, especially those that disagree. Comments submitted must, however, adhere to the following standards. Comments that violate these standards may be edited or deleted without notice at the sole discretion of the editors. Commenters who repeatedly or egregiously violate these standards or who attempt to argue publicly with editors regarding the comments policy may be banned from commenting further.

(1) Comments should address the substantive content of the post. Comments that repeatedly or blatantly misrepresent the content of the post or of others' comments are not welcome. Comments that respond to something other than which the contributor or commenter may have said are irrelevant and should not be posted.

(2) Comments should avoid vulgarity as well as racial, ethnic, religious, or sexual bigotry.

(3) Comments should not personally attack the character, personal integrity, or professional reputation of any PoliGazette contributor or of other commenters.

(4) Comments should reflect the contributions of the commenters themselves and should not include extensive cut-and-paste reproductions of others' words except insofar as necessary to supplement the commenter's own arguments. Link spam, trackback spam, and propaganda spam will be instantly deleted.

(5) Public figures are considered open to all substantive criticism of their policies and statements. Comments that present objectively false factual information about public figures (i.e. "Obama is a Muslim") or that attack public figures by attacking their families are not welcome. Comments that merely repeat slogans for or against a candidate without engaging in substantive comment are not welcome.

Questions or challenges to these policies or their application should be directed to the editors by email only.
